These cranberry orange cookies will be added to that list of goodies we make every year. Delicately rolling out the dough and cutting it out in a variety of holiday inspired shapes is one of our many favorite things. Baking a variety of Christmas cookies with the kids huddled around the kitchen island is one of them. There are many family traditions that we have over the winter. As soon as October hits, it seems as though the weeks just fly by. Next thing I know, we will be soaking in the newborn days, snuggling a baby and having Thanksgiving. It could be because baby number #7 is due in two weeks, which seems simultaneously like itвЂ™s sneaking up and also like an eternity away. These thin, crispy cookies are the perfect holiday addition and currently, it is feeling like the holidays are right around the corner. Anything you want to call them, they are absolutely delicious. IвЂ™m not sure whether to call these cranberry orange shortbread cookies, or snowballs, or by some other name. These delightful little cookies are a wonderful party addition.
